Alderman and mayoral candidate notes St. Charles residents were shocked by sudden Lexington Club approval less than a month after aldermen voted to recommend rejection of a TIF district for the project.
Alderman Ray Rogina of St. Charles’ 3rd Ward on Thursday called for a city policy to ensure the public gets at least seven days notice prior to any controversial votes on proposed developments. In a release issued Thursday, Rogina vowed he would implement the policy if elected mayor of St. Charles on April 9. His call for the policy follows the City Council’s divided vote nearly two weeks ago to approve the development, which has faced vocal opposition from neighbors of the project, as well as from critics of the city’s use of tax-increment financing districts. Just a month prior, aldermen voted to reject the TIF for the project, effectively killing the plan. But the developer came back with a revised TIF, reducing the amount sought as …

St. Charles mayoral candidate John Rabchuk this week said that he wants to form an volunteer organization that would match resources with needs in the community. Calling community volunteers as “a critical component” that earned St. Charles the title “No. 1 place for families” by Family Circle, Rabchuk said the STC Corps he would establish if elected would help match volunteer skills and availability with the respective needs. “It is often difficult for someone interested in contributing to our volunteer infrastructure to find a place where their particular skills and available time are matched to a community need,” he wrote in a release. “This can include Eagle Scouts attempting to identify the community project required for their …

Volatile issue likely to have high profile in St. Charles City Council races.
Monday’s St. Charles City Council votes that gave Lexington Club’s developer the green light to proceed no doubt prompted a sigh of relief for some even as it sparked anger among others. Perhaps 3rd Ward Alderman Raymond Rogina summed it up best Monday night when he said, “Democracy at times can be messy.” Rogina, one of five aldermen voting against the Lexington Club project, predicted the vote outcome moments before the vote was recorded, saying it would take yes votes by at least five aldermen and the mayor to push through the development. Referring to an email that he said influenced him and several of his colleagues, Rogina said, “We can do better. … “Reasonable people working together support why we have national recognition as a …
